Introduction

The world of Green Smoothies is a magical place, where you can look younger,

energize your body and mind, lose weight, de-stress and just generally get in

better all-around health. Who wouldn’t love that? I know I do. I am a die-hard

Green Smoothie believer. I’m sure you have all gotten that message by now if

you’ve read any of my other books – “The New Green Smoothie Diet Solution”

and “3 Day Green Smoothie Detox”

In the previous books we explored all of the ins and outs of Greens Smoothies;

the whys, the wherefores and the how’s. We learned everything we ever need to

know about making perfect Green Smoothies every time, and all of their healthy

nutritional benefits. We also learned how to customize our Green Smoothies to

our own particular taste preferences and health needs. We learned why we

should always choose organic or farm fresh veggies and fruit whenever possible,

and how to spice it up for maximum enjoyment!

Green Smoothies are quite simply, a life changing experience. The improvements

in the way you feel, and the way you look, cannot be measured in dollars. You

could spend tens of thousands of dollars on anti-aging treatments, plastic surgery,

fad diets, weight loss programs and a million other things, and you would not

have gained one thing that you cannot make in 15 minutes in your own kitchen,

and be healthier and happier because of it!

This book is dedicated to recipes for green Smoothies that were not included in

the first two books. I discover new Green Smoothie recipes every day. I love to

experiment with the ingredients, and try out recipes that I find that others have

invented. (I always customize these according to my own needs and tastes.)

Don’t fail to experiment with the recipes. Many people look at them, see all those

greens, and then they think that Green Smoothies are just not for them. That

means they have never actually bothered to try one. That is the beauty of the

Green Smoothie lifestyle; they can be adapted to anyone’s taste buds, while still

delivering the needed nutrients and benefits.

If you are still reading my books after the first tow, then I must assume you are on

board with the Green Smoothie way of life. You also know, that drinking Green

Smoothies does not mean that you cannot eat any other food that you enjoy. As a

matter of fact, Green Smoothies for one or two meals a day, and maybe a snack,

is sufficient for most people who do not choose the vegan lifestyle. Green

Smoothie nutrition is not about being a vegan or a raw food fanatic. It is about

adding all the nutrients that you need to your diet, helping you maintain your

optimum weight, and helping out with some of the medical conditions that you

may suffer from, that diet plays a role in.


How To Use This Book

The Recipes in this book are organized according to the different health aspects or

your personal goals. For example; if you are looking for smoothie recipes that cool

your body on a hot summers day, you should jump to the “Cool Me Down Green

Smoothie Recipes” chapter and select your favorite smoothie from the list of

recipes on that chapter.

I am a big believer in using a minimum amount of ingredients that are both easy

to find in any local grocery and fit any budget. Most recipes include 4-5

ingredients but others have a maximum of 8 ingredients. So it’s up to you to

choose the recipes that are right for your time and energy constraints.

I’ve tried my best to simplify the recipes and keep costs down as much as

possible. But, 0ver the years I’ve found that many of my clients asked for more

“unique” recipes, after drinking the same smoothies over and over, so I’ve

sprinkled some of those just for fun and variety! Don’t worry though; most of the

recipes have ingredients that are easy to find anywhere you live.

I wanted to keep the unessential’s to the minimum, so we are going to jump

directly to the recipes after the next chapter. If you find yourself still “thirsty” for

additional green smoothie information, I’ve included some references in the end

of this book.

Detoxifying Green Smoothie Recipes

Detoxifying the body occasionally is a necessary step in total good health. All

Green Smoothies contribute to the body’s detoxification. However, have any of

us been Green Smoothie users all of our lives? I think not. We’ve all got to start

from scratch right here and right now. A Green Smoothie 3 Day Detox is the

perfect place to start. After that, we can always detox about 4 times a year, but

even that is not really necessary if we make a daily habit of drinking at least 3

Green Smoothies.

Just add a Green Smoothie (with good detox ingredients) to your daily diet and

you will, in effect, be detoxing all of the time. There is no need to deprive yourself

of a thing, in order to get your body completely detoxified. It’s all about the foods

that you consume. Fortunately, the foods that provide the detox qualities that

you need are also tasty, and you use them every day if you drink Green

Smoothies! It is all a matter of how you combine your ingredients to achieve the

desired results.

Detoxing cleans the blood and flushes the digestive system, liver and kidneys. It

also flushes toxins from the skin, which is the largest organ of the body. A little

dry brushing and a few detox Green Smoothies, and you will not believe the

difference it will make in the tone and texture of your skin!

If you want to look and feel younger, detox Green Smoothies are the place to

start. You cannot improve anything that is not healthy to begin with! That is how

Green Smoothies make all the difference in our lives. Green Smoothies give us

the basics to work with, and them all we have to do is practice a little self-help

in all areas that concern our bodies and we are good to go!

Add these recipes to your detox regimen.

Weight Loss The Natural Green Smoothie Way Recipes

Who doesn’t need to lose a pound or two, every now and again? Whether it is because summer is rolling around again, and we want to look our best in the old bikini, or if we are getting a few years on us and are finding it harder and harder to maintain our optimum weight, we could still stand to lose a few of those pounds that we somehow accidentally found!

Losing weight using Green Smoothies is by far, the easiest method for weight loss. It is not a diet, but rather a simple matter of throwing all that good stuff in blender and giving it a spin. What could be easier?

That is the key to the success of weight loss with Green smoothies. I assume that you would not be reading this book, if you had no interest in Green Smoothies, to start with. If you have already incorporated one or two Green Smoothies into your daily diet, then you’ll soon be losing weight, whether you realize it or not. If you add a little exercise to your routine a few days a week, then you will really be reaping those weight loss benefits in nothing flat!

Most of us who need to lose weight, have tried every diet that has ever been invented, all for naught. Diets do not work. Diets make you feel deprived, and when you feel deprived that little devil comes out and sits on your shoulder, and whispers in your ear “it won’t hurt to eat this just this once!” Unfortunately, after you give in to the little voice once, it starts talking to you more and more often. Suddenly, you find that you are gaining weight, instead of losing it.

In my first book we learned all about how to use Green Smoothies as an aid to losing weight. Here are 11 more delicious recipes that are guaranteed to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Stress Busting Green Smoothie Recipes

We all know stress is a killer. It can contribute to medical conditions, mental

illness and just make you dread getting up in the morning to face another round

of stress.

Today, more than ever, life is stressful. There never seem to be enough hours in

the day to get everything done. We worry about our families, our finances and in

today’s economy, about just being able to keep our jobs. Stress is a never ending

vicious circle that we cannot escape! What we have to do is learn to cope.

Believe it or not, there are many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can

help us de-stress. Some have a calming effect on the mind and body, and others

just make us healthier so that we are mentally and physically fit enough to deal

with stress. We get all of these benefits in Green Smoothies. When we rotate our

fruits and vegetables, we are giving our bodies a healthy sampling of everything it

needs. There may be many veggies that we don’t like and normally would not eat.

The benefit of Green Smoothies is that we can eat them and we don’t even have

to taste them!

When we have Green Smoothies for one or two meals a day and maybe a snack,

we have just reduced some of the day to day stress of living, by eliminating all the

kitchen chores normally involved in preparing those meals!

The best time to have our de-stressing Green Smoothie snack is in the afternoon

when we arrive home from work. Fix one of these great recipes, kick off the old

shoes and lie back with a good book for an hour (or TV or whatever you find most

relaxing). The good feelings this one simple thing generates are simply amazing. I

find that I sleep better at night and feel better in the morning when I rise to do it

all over again! Give it a try! Here are 10 recipes just perfect for de-stressing.

Easiest Ever Green Smoothie

Banana and strawberry flavors are hard to beat!

Mood Enhancing Green Smoothie Recipes

In order to function properly and be at its best, the brain needs proper nutrition

just like the rest of the body. The brain is an organ just like the heart, the liver or

the skin. The brain is also, the most important organ, because nothing in the body

or mind works if the brain does not work! The term “brain food” is not a joke. I

believe it must refer specifically to Green Smoothies!

Hormones play a large role in brain function. Balanced hormones keep you feeling

good and looking good. Green Smoothies can help to balance those hormones. It

is not uncommon for people to report that they feel an elevation in their mood

the very first time they try a Green Smoothie!

Green Smoothies provide concentrated levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants

and micronutrients that have unbelievable effects on mental alertness,

concentration and that stressed out feeling. Some have even reported that they

no longer need prescription medication for depression, anxiety and nervousness.

How cool is that! Of course, never stop taking prescribed medication without the

consent of your medical professional!

Packaged and processes foods are the brain’s number 1 enemies. The fillers and

chemicals found in these products cloud the brain, effect the thought process and

just generally make us feel crummy! Green Smoothies will detox the brain, just

like they do the body, and we will be feeling better in no time at all!

Since I began my journey in Green Smoothies, I know that I am almost always

cheerful and outgoing, and I try to make the best out of bad situations. I can

remember when I was not like that, and I don’t ever want to go back there! I like

the new me, and to keep the new me, all I have to do is drink delicious and

nutritious Green Smoothies. How easy is that? Here are 10 new mood enhancing

recipes for you to try.

Power Workout Green Smoothie Recipes

We all need exercise and it is usually recommended to workout in some way at

least 3 or 4 times per week. Green Smoothies give us the energy and stamina we

need for a workout. Of course, your workout strategy will depend on many things.

Your current level of physical ability.

Any medical conditions that you have.

How much spare time you have.

What types of exercise you prefer or are interested in pursuing.

You should never begin a new workout routine if you have physical limitations

or serious medical concerns without consulting your physician first.

I personally do many forms of exercise, from walking, to biking, to kettle ball and

Tae Bo. You have to choose the one that is right for you. I always begin any

exercise with a power punch of a Green Smoothie to help me get through the

toughest exercise without feeling completely drained.

I have seen advice that Green Smoothies are not appropriate for serious athletes.

My question is why would that be true? Athletes need the same nutrients that

everyone else does, maybe in more massive amounts – hmmm – isn’t that one of

the things that Green Smoothies delivers?

Green Smoothies are filled with protein for building muscle, water for hydration,

amino acids, antioxidants, and every vitamin and mineral that anyone could ever

need. Besides, athletes have all those additives that they use to enhance their

performance, so why not just pop them into a Green Smoothie and call it a day!

I know, the majority of us are not serious competitive athletes, but we need the

same nutrients when we are expending energy and asking our bodies to work

harder than normal. These 10 Green Smoothie recipes have everything you need

to power you up and keep your body healthy and happy while you exercise.


Super Powered Green Smoothie

This green smoothie has lots of taste options to give you the energy you need for

a grueling workout! Try mixing and matching other greens in this one, so you get

all the nutrients possible.



10 strawberries, frozen

Glowing Skin Green Smoothie Recipes

Regardless of what modern advertising tries to tell you, your skin and nails must

be nourished from the inside out! Green Smoothies are the ticket to the skin and

nails that you have always wanted. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that

they contain are what feed your skin to keep it glowing and healthy, and fight off

the effects of aging.

No amount of goopy globs of stuff from tubes and bottles will give you the skin

that Green Smoothies can!

Don’t get me wrong, we all know that proper hygiene is also necessary for healthy

skin, and to prevent environmental toxins from entering the body through the

skin. However, a gentle soap and warm water will take care of this.

The skin also needs lots of hydration, meaning water, and our Green Smoothies

all have water plus water fruits for effective and long lasting hydration. Sure, you

still need to drink as much water as possible, too.

Your nails are mostly protein, and the building blocks for protein are amino acids.

Green Smoothies have these in abundance. When nails do not get enough

protein, they can become thin, chip and tear easily, or just refuse to grow. Green

being the key word here, your dark leafy greens, such as spinach and kale have

high volumes of both protein and the amino acids to process them. Healthy

beautiful nails are a Green Smoothie a day away!

If you are really serious about improving your skin and nails, there are a few

things that you need to give up or stay away from. These include alcohol,

excessive caffeine and smoking. All of these cause dehydration, and no amount of

water or nutrition, will overcome them.

So, let’s whip out the old blender, and try some of these 10 new recipes targeted

for the best skin and nails of your life!

Beautiful, Healthier Hair Green Smoothie Recipes

“Hair is a barometer of your overall health.”

(David H. Kingsley, Ph.D., British Science Corporation, New York City, hair and

scalp expert)

Never have truer words been spoken. The fact is that the hair you see is already

dead. The hair follicles are where the hair is formed and that is what must be kept

healthy in order to have beautiful hair. Green Smoothies offer all of the nutrition

the hair follicles need to produce the very best hair of your life!

Hair is mostly protein just like your nails, so all those green leafy vegetables that

we add to our Green Smoothies, have many jobs to do in our bodies. That is why

we add as many as we can to every Green Smoothie and try to increase the

amounts of them that we add, as much as possible.

Don’t get me wrong, the hair you were born with is the hair you will always have:

curly, straight, fine, thick, thin, wiry or coarse. The things that you can change

such as color or curl are done with chemicals. You may like the way processed

hair looks but it is very damaging to the hair follicles that we depend on to

produce our hair. It is best to avoid chemical processing if at all possible.

The Green Smoothie way is to give the hair follicles the very best nutrition, so

that they can produce the very best hair of your life!

If you have noticed that the quality of your hair has declined, it is definitely due to

improper nutrition. Fad diets, junk food or food deprivation, all have a bearing on

the condition of your hair. Hair that has been nourished by the nutrients and

protein in Green Smoothies will be stronger, shinier and more resistant to

breakage. Overall, that is a pretty great deal!

Check out these 10 new recipes for hair health.

Ultimate Energy Bursts Green Smoothie Recipes

Whether you are a workout guru or not, boosting your energy levels is a way to

help you feel better every day. When you have more energy, life is more

interesting and you have the ability to deal with stress and problems, without it

being such a draining experience. Green Smoothies can provide all of the energy

you will ever need to get through your toughest day and still have a little

something left for the evening!

In as little as 15 minutes, in the morning, you can have a full meal deal Green

Smoothie, with all the energy you need to start your day off right. Forget what

you think you know about breakfast. No conventional form of breakfast will

give you the energy or nutrition that a Green Smoothie will!

Breakfast Green Smoothies provide energy from carbohydrates, vitamins,

minerals, antioxidants and extra hydration. You will get full and stay full, without

all the bloating, indigestion and lethargy that comes from commonly accepted

breakfast foods, or processed breakfast bars.

You will have the energy and mental alertness to go to work and get the job done,

so you can get on to other things. You might even feel like taking a walk at lunch

instead of just sitting around. I like to prepare at least 2 and sometimes 3 Green

Smoothies in the morning. 2 of them I take with me for a mid-morning snack and

lunch. This makes my whole day more pleasant and fruitful. I am all about getting

things done, and Green Smoothies help me do just that!

I simply could not get through a day without my Green Smoothies anymore, now

Warm Me Up Winter Friendly Green Smoothie Recipes

There is nothing like a little comfort food when the weather turns cold outside.

And yes, I do realize that a Green Smoothie would not normally be considered a

warming and comfy treat for a cold winter day. However, it is all in the recipe

ingredients and the spices you choose to add. A Green Smoothie can deliver that

warming sensation just as well as any other food!

When is your nutrition as important as in the winter weather, when colds and flu

abound? Green Smoothies help boost your immune system, so that your body can

resist infection. What better way to warm and comfort yourself, than with the

knowledge that your health will see you through the winter blues. When

everyone else is sniffling, you will be feeling fine!

For your winter Green Smoothies, try using some comfort spices like cinnamon,

cloves or ginger. Those smoothies will start to emit that aroma that only comes

from the best holiday treats. As a matter of fact, try using some pumpkin or sweet

potatoes as one of your smoothie ingredients. What could be better than holiday

pie in a glass!

There is nothing like knowing you are getting your Green Smoothie nutrition,

and having it taste so delicious, that all you want is more!

The energy that you get from your winter Green Smoothies will have you ready

for a snowball fight or a sledding adventure with the kids. Now that you are

regularly enjoying Green Smoothie nutrition and energy, the sky is the limit!

Banish those cold weather doldrums! Curl up with your favorite blanket by a cozy

fire, read your favorite book again, and drink up that fabulous Green Smoothie

treat. Your body and mind will thank you daily, and you will breeze through the

winter without a care!

Try these 10 recipes and see how truly delicious they really are!

Cool Me Down Green Smoothie Recipes

While comfort smoothies for winter may be a new concept, I’m thinking that

refreshing cold Green Smoothies in summer is a thing that we can all identify

with. Cool and soothing on a hot summer day, or after a hot and sweaty workout

anytime.

Just think of all of the fresh picked veggies and fruit you have to choose from in

summer, that are not available in winter. Just remember to use plenty of crushed

ice when you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, so your Green Smoothie will be a

real chiller!

There is absolutely nothing that tastes better or suits the summer weather better

that Green Smoothies. There is no need for heavy meals that just weigh you down

and make the weather seem hotter than it really is. Green Smoothies will give you

the energy to get out and do things; exercise, vacation or maybe just get some

fresh air. When the heat is taking it out of you, Green Smoothies help keep you

hydrated, and keep your nutrient levels up where they need to be, no matter

how much you sweat.

You have never been more ready for summer, now that your Green Smoothies

have knocked off those few extra pounds, and you have your brand new bikini

ready body to show off. Hmmm…maybe a trip to the beach for this year’s

vacation! When you get ready to go on that summer vacation, don’t forget to

pack that old blender first thing. You won’t want to be leaving that behind! You

will really need those Green Smoothies to have the best summer vacation ever!

There is no reason why this cannot be the best summer you have ever had with

or without a vacation!

Customizing Your Green Smoothies

You can find inspiration in amazing and unusual places!

Ideas for your own custom smoothies can come from the most unusual places

sometimes. You could be strolling down the grocery aisle and see an interesting

new fruit, or a colorful vegetable that you hadn’t thought of using in your

smoothies before. Maybe you notice a box of kid’s fruit snacks, and something

about the fruit combinations they use catches your eye. Perhaps you walk into a

shop and smell a delightfully different candle that reminds you of a favorite spice

you haven’t tried using in smoothies yet. You just never know where you might

find inspiration for your smoothie experiments!

One of the first stops anyone making smoothies should make is the spice rack.

Chances are good that the spices you like in vegetable dishes and desserts will be

equally as good in a smoothie. Many spices have great nutritional benefits and

natural healing abilities. That sounds like a perfect combination!

There are many options for finding tasty ways to boost the nutrients and tastiness

of green smoothies. Super Foods are all the rage today. Many of them are quite

flavorful, and enhance the taste and nutrition of foods to which they are added.

The most popular ones are now available at your grocers in the organic or health

food aisles. Others might only be found in a health food store or online. Here are

a few for your consideration.

Flax Seed - Flax seeds have fiber, protein, Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamins B1, B2,

B3, B5, B6, B9 and C. It also provides calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus,

potassium and zinc. (Flax seeds should be ground with a coffee grinder before

adding them to smoothies.)

Wheat Germ – Wheat germ gives a concentrated dose of several nutrients, such

as Folic acid, zinc, magnesium, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin E and thiamine, as

well as lots of fiber.

Chia Seeds – This little seeds form a paste when soaked in water. They make an

excellent thickening agent for any type of food or smoothie. They also contain


such nutrients as fiber, phosphorus, manganese, potassium, iron, molybdenum,

zinc, copper, niacin, Omega 3 Fatty Acids and antioxidants. They are low in fat and

cholesterol free. Chia Seeds are a South American product that does not grow in

the U.S. Therefore, the best way to obtain them is ordering online.

Goji Berries – These berries come from China. They are fairly common in health

food stores. They contain amino acids, essential fatty acids, beta-carotene, lutein,

lycopene, antioxidants, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, riboflavin and

Vitamin C. That is pretty potent berry!

Alfalfa Sprouts – These can be found at your local grocery store. They have a light

flavor that is very good on food or salads. They are equally good as an additive to

Green Smoothies. They contain a lot of protein and calcium, plus B Vitamins,

Vitamins C, D and E. They have medicinal value and can help improve digestion

and relieve some kidney disorders.

Garlic – If you try a totally veggie and greens smoothie, Garlic might be just the

ticket. It is good for your immune system, reduces cholesterol, helps prevent

cancer, and has been shown to help those with heart disease. It has fiber, protein,

beta-carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamins B5, B6, B9 and C. It also has

calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, manganese and

selenium. Talk about antioxidants!

These are only a very few of the excellent all-natural additives, or “Super Foods”

that you can use in your Green Smoothies. Many of them are far more exotic,

hard to find and expensive than the ones above.

10 Tips for Getting the Most out of Your Green Smoothie

1. The fruits that you choose for your smoothies should always be ripe. Unripe

or semi-ripe fruit will not sufficiently sweeten your smoothie and can give it

a bitter tang.

2. Water that you use in smoothies should always be bottled or purified.

3. Thicken a smoothie by adding crushed ice or thin it by adding water.


4. Don’t refuse to try new greens in your smoothies just because you think

you won’t like it. Make a small portion, add spices, flavorings or honey until

you get it just right.

5. As you may have noticed some of the recipes in this book call for mixed

greens or more than one green. This is a great way to get all the benefits of

the greens, without having to taste just a single one.

6. Don’t refuse to try new fruits that you don’t like to eat plain. You may find

that in combination with other fruits and vegetables that they add that

special “oomph” that your recipe needed.

7. Nuts have tons of protein, minerals and Omega 3s that your body needs.

Many even have antioxidant properties. You can grind them and add them

to your Green Smoothies. You can also soak them and use the water

(referred to as nut milk) in place of the water in your smoothies; all the

taste and nutrition without the grit. Try garnishing your smoothie with nuts,

or just have a handful with your smoothie.

8. Seeds are another great addition, and there are many to choose from other

than those listed above. Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Celery seeds and

a host of others offer extra nutrition and added taste choices.

9. Try having an all-veggie smoothie for an interesting alternative. You can

add salt, pepper, garlic, hot spices or anything you desire to make it taste

just right.

10. The most important tip of all is experiment, experiment and then

experiment some more. The more you do, the better your Green Smoothies

will taste, and soon you will be telling everyone else how to make them and

what they can do for you.
